Unfocus v0.4.0-alpha.1

These early builds are not code-signed or notarized. Verify downloads with SHA256SUMS and the GitHub build-provenance attestations.
The release also includes a CycloneDX SBOM and the bundled third-party notices.

• Linux: X11 is qualified. APT archive metadata is signed; application binaries are unsigned. Wayland is unsupported.
• macOS: Preview and unnotarized. Multi-monitor behavior is not yet qualified.
• Windows: Idle and fullscreen probes are implemented, but interactive multi-monitor qualification is pending.

Changes

Supersedes the unpublished v0.3.1-alpha.1 draft. This public alpha includes all of that draft’s dashboard, accessibility, and release-integrity improvements.

Added

• Added a full multi-platform install guide covering package
  selection, checksum and provenance verification, first-run defaults, local
  data and uninstall paths, build-from-source pins, and platform troubleshooting.
• Added an elapsed-progress indicator to the consumer dashboard. It appears only
  during an active work interval and stays hidden while paused, during a break
  or preview, and whenever reminder status is unavailable.
• Added a time axis to the Your day activity strip. Faint gridlines mark
  every fourth hour behind the bars, with the hour labeled beneath in the
  system clock format and the right edge marked now, so a bar can be traced
  to the time of day it covers.
• Added a Day starts setting to the Your day summary. The chosen hour is
  marked with a stronger rule and a brighter label on the activity strip's time
  axis, so the day can be read from when it actually begins. The setting is kept
  on this device and never affects the break timer.
• Added a public APT install path for Debian and Ubuntu alphas via
  abhiksark/unfocus-apt (apt install unfocus). The archive metadata at apt.abhik.ai is
  signed; application binaries remain unsigned.
• Added slow, stepped drift and twinkle to the break scene's stars, with a
  10-18 second cadence and a dawn fade. Reduced-motion preferences stop the
  motion entirely.

Changed

• Rebuilt the consumer dashboard as a quieter single column with plain sections,
  shared design tokens, system body fonts, sentence-case labels, and WCAG AA
  contrast at rendered text sizes. The break screen keeps its layout and uses
  the shared display font token.
• Described Unfocus as both a break app and a local reflection surface in the
  README and package metadata. Your day and break outcomes remain
  observe-only.
• Clarified Ubuntu as the primary qualified Linux install path: README and
  docs/install.md put the signed APT repo
  (apt.abhik.ai) first, separate package trust from
  macOS/Windows application code signing, and document APT upgrade and privacy
  notes for that path.
• Updated the README consumer dashboard screenshot to the single-column layout
  with the Your day time axis and Day starts selector. Break-screen media
  remains unchanged.
• Updated the frontend toolchain to Vite 8.2.1, svelte-check 4.7.5, the Svelte
  Vite plugin 7.3.0, and Node type definitions 26.2.0, and regenerated the
  dependency license notices.

Fixed

• Fixed SBOM generation when a dependency update leaves two copies of a package
  in the lockfile. Each dependency now resolves the way the runtime would, so a
  nested copy serves its own owner while everything else sees the root copy.
• Relayed Homebrew release dispatch through the default branch so the
  environment-restricted tap automation can receive alpha publication events.

Security

• Overrode the transitive nanoid dependency to 3.3.18 to remediate its
  advisory, and regenerated the lockfile and third-party notices.
